-=PCTechTalk=- Fwd: Re: DVD/RW door problem

Thanks Gman! I'll do that because the sound of it opening and closing  
non-stop like this is driving me crazy, and I'm already crazy enough. LOL   ;o)

Hi LilAnnie,
I have a similar issue with  a DVD drive here and my problem stems from 
the tray not closing  completely.  Whenever it closes, I have to manually 
push it the rest  of the way in or it will soon reopen on me.  That indicates 
a problem  with the tray transport and there's no user fix that can be done 
for  it.  Since mine is out of warrantee, I just deal with it and will  
eventually replace the unit when it no longer functions as a reliable  
burner.

For you, however, the warantee is still going  strong.  I would contact 
Gateway and tell them you need the faulty  optical drive replaced.

Peace,
Gman
